sammyboy2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 hi guys, i have recently purchased a brand new tensile 60 click freewheel which cost me just under £40. almost as soon as i had finished running it in, the freewheel became very tight! there seems to be light grinding coming from the freewheel when freewheeling and enough resistance to constantly slow me down! if i loosen my chain it seems to run better, but then i have the problem of a slack chain! why is this happening?, can it be fixed?, or shall i try and send it back? also any recommendations on high quality freewheels would be appreciated! many thanks sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Impossible Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I had one of these freewheels and It completely broke and couldn't be repaired and now I've got an echo sl and it runs like a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Beach Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I've had mine over 3 years now and it's still going strong! Try stripping and cleaning it, then rebuild it with some thinner grease in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Is it rubbing on your bottom bracket? Edited February 26, 2011 by Jamie_Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyboy2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Is it rubbing on your bottom bracket? no mate its not rubbing at all i run an echo tr isis with 128mm axle so it has plenty of spacing! i reckon i could have a problem with the bearings thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
